Patterns of behaviour

Yesterday, as I was putting a gold star on my 'Mighty Novel Progress Log' I realised that every single Friday and Saturday so far has been a *gold star* day for me. With only 11 gold star days, 8 of them have been on a Friday or Saturday. Now I'm wondering if Fridays and Saturdays are always my most productive days or if this is just a novel-writing fluke?

The other 3 gold star days have been spread out with one on a Sunday, one on a Monday, and one on a Thursday.

The interesting thing about Thursday though is that the other 3 Thursdays have all been *zero* days -- meaning that I've not done any writing at all!  Perhaps the fact that most of my Thursdays have been so unproductive has inspired my Fridays to be so productive (the pressure of procrastination!).

The other low-productivity days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I've never had a gold star on a Tuesday or a Wednesdsay. And the total word counts for these days is paltry.

So this is all very interesting but with only a few days left, I can't afford to have any low-productivity days! It needs to be gold stars all the way...

And just to avoid any confusion later down the line, I will finish here by reminding everyone what you should already know: April has 31 days!
